Razer Basilisk Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB Lighting - 8 Programmable Buttons - Mechanical Switches - Customizable Scroll Resistance - Classic Black

I like the this mouse in almost every way. I like the feel of the mouses surface. Movement is very smooth and has very sophisticated movement speed adjustment if you dont like the current movement speed. Just enough number of buttons on the mouse because I dont like a gaming mouse that has too many buttons that makes me feel like I am holding a keyboard instead of mouse. I also love the cool razer logo and the lighting. BUT WHAT MAKES ME PISS OFF IS that, as it can be seen from the picture that I attached, the left rubber part of this mouse is peeling off itself in a very short time. I dont know if I happened to received a defective one or this mouse just doesnt have enough adhesive to hold the rubber but this is very annoying and not something that I expect from the gaming mouse, otherwise a perfect gaming mouse, at this price range. I had to return the mouse and re-order. I will keep watching this rubber part and see if this one peels off also.

I’ve just received this mouse in the mail today and decided to go for a spin with it. So far, I’m fairly impressed. Although I do have few complaints, they shouldn’t stop you from buying this mouse since I’m a very picky person. Likes: - Very ergonomic. - Adjustable scroll wheel. - Side buttons are clicky (just how I like them). - Modular DPI clutch. - Sexy Chroma lighting. Dislikes: - Ring finger is a little uncomfortable (for me at least). - Clicking takes a little more force than I’m used to. - Size of the mouse (My hand is 7 inches {palm to tip of middle finger} and this mouse feels slightly too small). - Synapse 3 is not yet available on MacOS Now, every dislike is all based on my experience and may not be applied to some of you. However something that will be a deal breaker for you might be the fact that Synapse 3 is not yet available on MacOS and Razer has already implied that it will becoming to us Mac users. I can easily boot into windows and install it but I have yet to try it. Sooner or later this review might become updated. Edit: So I was able to install windows 10 onto my iMac and downloaded Synapse 3. I had linked my Hue lights to my mouse and it looks gorgeous! The software was actually better than I thought it would be. I haven’t found any issues “yet” and will continue testing. I will note however, the way you configure the lighting is actually pretty confusing since I was too lazy to read how to use Synapse.

Great gaming mouse. 10/10 would recommend it. Daily use this mouse for years now and it held the test of time. The lighting is great, and the mouse performs exceptionally.

I finally got synapse 3 to work on windows 8 with this mouse... Fresh install of windows 8 -> Update windows 8 the whole way -> Install chrome -> Install synapse 3 -> Restart computer -> Enjoy your new crazy awesome mouse... A list of things that may cause problems: - Antivirus - Not updating OS whole way - Bad MOBO USB drivers - Corrupted download of synapse Comment on my review if you have problems and Ill try to get back to you...

Only reason I dont give five stars is Razer Synapse 3, which is needed to make full use of its features. When it isnt working the dpi clutch doesnt work. Neither does control of the RGB among other things. Its not the most stable software and occasionally just stops working, sometimes requiring a full system reset to work again. Not a deal breaker by any means, though.

Ive been looking to replace my Logitech G9X for several years as it began to show its age. The problem? Finding another mouse that worked for larger hands with a side grip/hand rest on it and my preferred button configuration. After years of searching and almost being resigned to paying way too much for another G9X on eBay, I found this mouse and decided to give it a try. After using it for several weeks for both gaming (ARPG, 4X strategy, RTS) and work use, I finally have a replacement for my 11 year old G9X. If youre looking for a replacement and you dont like the Logitech G502 (which I didnt - just didnt work for my hands but still a great mouse) this is my recommended choice. The only missing element is the fact that the Basilisk does not have weight tuning like the G9X did but I find it to be a good mid-range weight and with the crazy-high DPI available on the Basilisk almost a non-issue.

Just bought the Basilisk and Ive been using the mouse for about a week now. Productivity software and some FPS gaming. Pros: As a user of generic (free) OEM mice, this was a huge change. It took some getting used to, but the mouse is definitely a huge improvement. I paired it with a new Razer Destructor 2 mousepad, it is a completely different experience. I initially thought the DPI clutch is a little gimmicky, but it has its moments depending on your use cases. Highly customizable, and it has a good feel in the hand. The ambitions of the mouse software its paired with are high, but... Cons: The new Synapse software. I realize its in its beta stages, but it makes the experience a frustrating one. Im running Windows 10. Ive received one Synapse software update since I started using it, and both versions are very buggy. So far, the app has crashed multiple times just trying to use its core functionality, the sensitivity buttons on the top have stopped working and its forgotten about my profile until I rebooted, and the color scheme has a mind of its own. Verdict: Great mouse, but give them a little more time before using the new version of the Synapse software. It could make the difference between being truly impressed and being frustrated.

I bought this for 34.99 on Black Friday, so the review will be based on this price point. The ergonomics are very comfortable for someone with a medium-sized hand and a palm/claw grip. The interchangeable sniper triggers (lowers the DPS while trigger is depressed) are very nice quality and have a satisfying tactile feel. Multiple lengths for different hand sizes are included. Customization through Razer Synapse is relatively straightforward and expansive as far as mouse customization goes. Especially at this price point, I couldnt possibly give it less than 5 stars. Build quality is great, awesome mouse wheel resistance adjustment on the bottom of mouse, and just a super smooth experience.

Good quality mouse! Wasnt meant for me though as I need a lighter mouse for gaming. Make sure you know the grams you play better with as i have the air58 from FinalMouse so anything above 60grams feels extremely heavy for me. If you prefer a heavier mouse though its comfortable and great quality!

I just really like this mouse. I had so much decision fatigue shopping for mice- once I finally landed on the basilisk i was so relieved. It conforms to my hand perfectly and its very accurate. I really like the thumb macro button that you can remove/modify to be longer or shorter. Great for specific games where you can bind a skill so you can cast without changing your WASD pathing.
